Whenever we visit other countries, we find ourselves losing weight despite eating and drinking far more than we do at home.
Why is that?
It turns out it has a lot to do with movement. When we’re traveling, we’re often walking a lot more than at home.
At home, we have long stretches when we’re sitting at a computer or sitting in a car. You have to work to pay for those trips! And you have to drive to get to work!
Turns out movement is #1 in the lessons we can learn from those who live in Blue Zones – or areas where people “routinely live beyond 90.”
9 Lessons from the World’s Oldest People (Blue Zone Wisdom) [Peter Diamandis] – “I recently sat down with author, researcher, and explorer Dan Buettner on my Moonshots podcast to help answer this question. Dan is a brilliant friend who has spent the last few decades researching “Blue Zones,” a phrase he coined for regions of the world where people routinely live beyond 90. (Note: Dan now uses a new metric called “health adjusted life expectancy,” meaning the years of life you can expect to live in full health, without chronic disease or disability, what I call healthspan.)
In today’s blog, I’ll summarize Dan’s research findings and the 9 fundamentals of Blue Zone wisdom that could help you add years to your life.”
